Chapter 362: Oak Barrels

This bunch of grapes was eaten by Luo Tong and Liu'er, one by one, and I saw that it was about to leave the vineyard, and there was no more in my hand. Luo Tong's eyes rolled, picked two more bunches of grapes, and waited for a while to eat with Grandma Sheng and them.

She carried a bunch herself, sat in her arms, and held a bunch of grapes on her chest, and a man and a monkey brought the grapes to the resort center.

Masson's eyes were sharp, and he saw the grapes in Luo Tong's hands at a glance.

"The grapes are all ripe, the fruit you planted is extraordinary!"

"There aren't many ripe grapes, I guess in just one week, the grapes will ripen in large quantities. After all, he is often in the orchard, and Luo Tong can now roughly calculate the ripening period of these fruits.

Masson washed grapes by the sink while chatting with Luo Tong.

"I see a lot of grapes this year, or is it the same as the previous fruits, and they are not sold to the public?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, but I guess there will be a lot of people coming by then. ”

"This grape is so sweet," Masson stuffed a grape into his mouth, squinting so much that his little eyes couldn't see it.

"I have an idea, why don't we make some wine?"

While eating the grapes, it was difficult for him to be able to speak clearly with such a large grape in his mouth.

"Wine?" Luo Tong was stunned, "I don't have an opinion, but the grapes of this wine don't seem to be made from this kind of grapes, right?"

This is also based on the fact that there are special varieties of wine grapes, including rose honey, crystal, French wild, Cabernet Sauvignon, snake Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, gemstone, Merlot, Grenache and dozens of other varieties.

Luo Tong didn't take this situation into account when he bought the fruit trees, he just thought that the Jufeng grapes were a specialty of their province, and his brain was hot, and all of them were planted with this kind of grapevine.

Now listening to Masson say that he wants to make wine, Luo Tong can't help but feel a little annoyed, he knew that he shouldn't choose all this kind of vines in the first place.

"It's okay, it's brewed and drunk, and the grape variety is not very demanding. ”

"Okay, when the grapes are more ripe, let's try it. By the way, how much wine are you going to make?"

"It's not much, it's good to brew a few hundred catties, the degree of wine is not high, you can also taste it when the time comes? I see that you have not touched the fruit wine made before. ”

"Okay, let's make a little more, do we need oak barrels for our own wine?"

Luo Tong has heard that oak barrels are very good for storing wine, and the key is that oak barrels are more difficult to buy.

"It would be great if you could get your hands on the oak barrels, and if you can't, don't force it, because the vats are good too. ”

"Okay, I'll go back and ask Brother Sheng to see if he can find a way to get an oak barrel, anyway, I don't know anyone in this area. ”

Luo Tong is also single, if there is anything to find Sheng Qiwu, in terms of connections, Sheng Qiwu can be said to have dumped her for several streets.

"What's wrong? What do you want to ask me?"

Sheng Qiwu happened to be busy, and when he looked at the time, he arrived in the back kitchen, Grandpa Sheng and Grandma Sheng also followed, Grandpa Sheng was carrying a bucket in his hand, and Grandma Sheng was holding his little Maza.

"The grapes are almost ripe, and we are discussing whether to make some wine, and I see that there are a lot of grapes in the vineyard. Masson said that if there is an oak barrel that is the best, I would like to ask if you can find an oak barrel?"

"I really don't know,"

As soon as he said this, Luo Tong's face fell a little.

Sheng Qiwu hurriedly continued: "I'll just ask the uncle, he knows a lot of people in business, maybe he can think of a way?"

Luo Tong's disappointment was only for a moment, and she didn't want to embarrass Sheng Qiwu.

"It's okay, if you really don't have it, you don't have to force it, anyway, Masson said, ordinary wine vasks can also be used for storage. ”

"It's okay, wait until I ask Uncle first. ”

Although Luo Tong was talking to Sheng Qiwu, he didn't forget Grandma Sheng and Grandpa Sheng. After the two of them sat down, they hurriedly pushed the grapes in front of the two of them, "This is the grape I just picked in the orchard, grandparents try it." ”

Grandma Sheng picked up a grape, "This grape is really big, and it ripens so early!"

But no, the fruit of this Jufeng grape is relatively large, and the heaviest weight of a single fruit can reach 20 grams, and Grandma Sheng estimates that there are about 30 grapes at most per catty.

"Grandma, try it, I think this grape is sweet, and grandpa too, you must be very thirsty from sitting there fishing, eat some grapes to moisten your throat." ”

Luo Tong is not favoritous, and Grandpa Sheng is not polite, "I will take advantage of my granddaughter-in-law's light today." ”

Sheng Qiwu seemed to be smiling, did Tong Tong forget himself, but the elder was here, and he couldn't say anything, so he was worried that Luo Tong would be embarrassed.

Uncle Sheng's connections are also very broad, Sheng Qiwu mentioned it to him, and the next day Uncle Sheng called to say that there was news of an oak barrel.

This is still a person who Uncle Sheng went to find to specialize in wine-making equipment, he followed the trend and bought a lot of oak barrels, but he never sold them after he got his hands, and the things were smashed in his hands.

This time, I heard that Luo Tong needed it, so Uncle Sheng thought of him. The price of this oak barrel is still not cheap, especially if it is made of 100-year-old oak trees, and the price is even more expensive.

Even though Luo Tong is worth a lot of money now, it still hurts a little to buy these oak barrels. The seller had a total of fifty oak barrels, and Luo Tong simply bought them all, anyway, he could use them for a long time.

Once the deal was confirmed, the barrels were delivered to the cellar of the resort center on the third day. Now everything is ready and the east wind is needed, which means that as long as the grapes are ripe, you can start making wine.

In Masson's expectation, the grapes in the vineyard ripened. At six o'clock in the morning, Luo Tong and a dozen aunts picked grapes in the vineyard, and these grapes were to be sent to the resort center as soon as possible, and Mason was already waiting.

Today, Sheng Qiwu is working as a porter, and Luo Tong is picking grapes in the vineyard, and he is responsible for transporting them to the resort center one by one.

Originally, I wanted to do it in my own yard, but then I thought that my house did not have such a big place, and there was a big square in the resort center, which was the most convenient.

After Sheng Qiwu transported the grapes back, a group of grandparents surrounded him. Almost all of them were recuperating here, and when they heard that Masson was going to make wine, they were very curious.

In order to be able to make good wine, Luo Tong invited a lot of people in the village this time, some of them were picking grapes, and some of them were following Masson on this side of the square.

The grapes are removed from the grapes, which are rotten, not ripe and leaves are removed, and the grapes are separated from the stems.

The ladies who came to help were wearing disposable gloves on their hands, and their movements were very gentle, as long as the grape skin was slightly broken.
